A significant shift in NHPC Limited's ownership structure is underway as the President of India, acting as a promoter, is divesting a 6.01% stake through an Offer for Sale (OFS), reducing government holdings to 61.39%. This move, executed over June 2-3, 2026, involves the sale of 60.27 crore shares with provisions for retail and employee investors, reflecting a broader trend of government disinvestment in state-owned enterprises. Concurrently, NHPC is advancing its expansion plans with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement for the 3097 MW Etalin hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh, a run-of-river scheme to be developed on a BOOT basis. While the Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for a related civil appeal in August 2026, the immediate focus remains on the ownership transition and the company’s ambitious hydroelectric project development.
